Thank you very much to all.  I found the answer I was looking for.   
It involved a little bit of tweaking of "for file in  
~/.bash_profile_pieces/*".  I now have a nice script and a modulized  
".bash_profile".  If anyone has any questions as to the actual setup,  
I'd be more than happy to explain.
